White says there are hundreds of vacation options across Nebraska, from a weekend visit to a weeklong stay.

“Oregon Trail Days, if you want to get out in western Nebraska, goes on from July 7th through 10th, and that’s in Gering, and you can go to art shows, chili cook-offs, and car shows. It pays tribute to the Oregon Trail and the pioneers, so that’s a great event for families.”

Tourism is the third largest industry in Nebraska and brings in about $4.5 billion each year.
